Fri. Fun: Opposing the "Powerful Funeral Lobby"

Who knew that the casket-selling business was so cutthroat?

One of the IJ's current clients are the monks of St. Joseph Abbey (based in Covington, Louisiana) who are involved in a dispute with the State Board of Embalers. The latter is opposed to the monks selling their tasteful, simple wooden coffins and competing with them for 'business.'
